>> So the very odd and slightly disturbing Kim Fung Toy has been terrorising me about the state of my weight on Refinery 29… specifically making reference to my love of 'cheese' and my chubby face. Yes, I do have a chubby face but no, that's not down to cheese (in fact, I have a severe cheese intolerance problem… see below). This post will therefore add fuel to Kim Fung Toy's manic weight commenting, as I'm officially hellbent on going for the high-waisted printed granny pant that piqued my interest at Peter Som's presentation and was then finally consecrated at the finale of Dolce & Gabbana yesterday. That said, I'm still not about to go bare knickered to all and sundry so something sheer like an organza skirt or tunic will need to go over for some form of coverage.

This is therefore is a pre warning to Kim Fung Toy or any other human weigh-o-meters out there. Avert your eyes next summer. My chubby changa (inspired by a Chinese takeaway on my high street with the same name) thighs are sort of being unleashed with some enlarged, slightly garish floral prints covering up the chocha area (merci Daddy Likey… ). And for your information, it's the extreme amount of pork crackling, steak with a wad of fat marbling and creamy potato dauphinoise that keeps these cheeks extra chubby and I wouldn't give any of that up for anyone or anything.
That Kim person is an ass… you’re not fat, Susie. My sister’s face shape is exactly like yours. It’s so cute! 🙂
Haha, you are awesome!
You are not fat! I’m actually shocked that someone would even say that!!
Thats insane! you are not chubby, you’re adorable! It people like Kim who make others prone to eating disorders and hating their self image. Anyone can be fashion forward regardless of weight if they put together a fab outfit!
Kim Fung Toy is a 9 yr old. There is no other explanation.
FYI– I kind of wish you hadn’t put that link there and that I didn’t go and click on it like the automaton I am. Reading that shit just makes fat idiots of us all. Thanks.
Ugh why even give this person the time of day? They CLEARLY need to get their eyes checked Susie. Gotta love Connie Wang’s interjection: “Dude. You need to chill out.”
I don’t know what that person is talking about, I’ve always thought of you as a very slim person, not that it should matter anyway! if someone thinks you look big in that photo…well they have a problem. perhaps they have just got too used to the (scary) matchstick legs of certain celebrities, ignore it I say!
People are jealous!!! Don’t even bother noticing the comments!
You have amazing style!

wtf?! I can’t believe what I just read! Who is this person? I know from experience, this stuff hurts, even when you know it’s not true, so I hope you are okay Susie.
Loving those 50s knickers, they would look awesome with a sheer skirt, like you said. Great styling ideas, as is usual from you!

It never fails to amaze me how many insecure little pricks reside on the internet. Most of them seem to hang out over on Youtube but I supposed they’re prone to popping up anywhere they see fit.
Keep on being awesome, Susie.
I don’t know what kind of person writes this kind of absolutely ridiculous idiotic comments. I think Refinery/Connie is also irresponsible for publishing them and letting her/him go on and on.
Those granny pants are awesome. Love Peter Som’s version. I look forward to seeing you in one!
That 1950’s knickers look was all over the S/S 2010 collections, right? I saw it at nearly every show at NYC Fashion Week that I went to; I hit about 3 to 4 shows a day. It was interesting to see the look integrated into dresses. But yeah, way to revealing (and perhaps silly?) without some kind of over-layer.
I love them!!!
I think they are fantastic, and cant wait for the collection to be on sale haha
Btw couldnt stop thinking, while I was watching the girls, of this new collection of this jewelry designer mercedes salazar, its so edgy and fashion and oldstyle that it just makes my day!!!
btw this is the homepage:: and the online shop is highly reccomended:::

way to go to not be bothered by weirdo blog-stalking haters, susie! can’t wait to see how you rock out the 50s granny knickers next season 😀
Those floral ones are insane!

ha! what a strange, warped person. what’s with all the “LOL!”s ??… yes we probably are all laughing, but not WITH him..

First of all, these may be a good starter for your tap-pants urges:

Second of all, if someone honestly considers you to be fat then…well…I better just go dig myself an early grave and give up forever. I am constantly jealous of the fact that your legs do not distort the design on your myriad of patterned tights (a problem I often have) that alone should be proof enough! xo Angie
Lol@this post. And how sad are losers on the internet who have nothing better to do?!?
Fat? You? I don’t think so. And I eagerly anticipate your take on those phenomenal printed knickers with a sheer organza skirt overlaid….or something to that effect!
I like tap pants for bed, but they’d look horrible on me for everyday wear. Plus, I’d be uncomfortable.
Tina, you are awesome. Nice to know there’s another fashion loving game geek around.
That guy is just demented! Don’t listen to him, be strong Susie “)
If you can’t shut them up, beat them with the sausage!
you are naturally aware that people would still make nasty comments if you would be really skinny, than they would call you anorectic and mock at the size of your head.
if you by any chance have a photo of that person, I’d be very interested in seeing it…
Frying pan pillow face? Someone give Kim Fung Toy a Pulitzer Prize…
Those pseudo-anon posts are so horrible. I’ve been reading over this post and am just beyond irritated by these people! Although I’ll probably be using ‘frying pan pillow face’ as my next insulting bon mot. The popular kids will never know what hit ’em.

God, what a little idiot!! You aren’t fat in the slightest.
Props for taking stuff like that in your stride, I wouldn’t be able to!
Those big pants are super cute and I look forward to seeing you rock them!
Um, if Kim Fung Toy wants to see chubby cheeks, he should take a look at mine – I’m sure he’d have a field day. Haters – so boring.
That person is full of lame.
You go girl! You wear those high-waisted printed granny pants with pride!
Obviously, we don’t agree with all of our comments, but we don’t like to censor anything either–even the kinds left by deranged boy-children who like to creep on style blogs while taking a break from playing RPGs from the comfort of their mother’s basement.
And, like we said here: (http://pipeline.refinery29.com/best_of_the_week/best_of_the_week_fashion_flick.php), if we get to vote anyone off the island, it’d be Kim “I’m No Fung” Toy. <3 u Suze
Woooooooooooow
*puts on “Obsessed” by Mariah*
He’s clearly an asshole… but at the same time, I’ve read several reactions to the effect “Susie’s not fat!”… I agree, she’s not fat, but so what if she was? Shouldn’t our reaction be “You’re a dick because this is about style not size.” rather than “Your observation is incorrect.”
The other thing I’m thinking is, it’s never enough, is it? Susie’s in Elle, has been in the Guardian and what all else, has people every day commenting here saying she looks great, and then this random troll still apparently makes an impact despite all of that.
^It’s not about whether things are ‘enough’ but simply relating something that has been plaguing my mind (and yes, I am one of those annoying people that take criticism harder, thus overriding any positives… a personal trait that I’ve never been able to shake off…)… to the granny pant shorts…
Yes, it is incredibly self-indulgent but that of course would apply to most of the blog… I do let a lot of other horrid things go over my head and fly, but the intensity of those comments really have got me down… and whilst calling people out in such a snarky way isn’t exactly graceful, sometimes I can’t help it if I do want to use the blog as an emotional punchbag….at the very least, I have indirectly talked up S/S10 granny pants?
Serpentine has got it right – firstly, you’re far from fat; secondly, why should it matter?
You’ve got enviable success and exposure, and unfortunately that makes you vulnerable to unkind nobodies who have neither. I would say “Just ignore him” but obviously that’s easier said than done, nevertheless, I encourage you to let your fat flaps fly!
You clearly don’t need to worry, look how many people have jumped to your defence!
Some of us (yes myself included) just happen to have round faces now matter what shape/size our bodies are. At the end of the day Kim obviously has some serious insecurities when it comes to herself to analyse other people so much in comparison – she should be pitied.
She’s obviously jealous of your success in the fashion world, despite the fact that (shock horror) you aren’t ‘conventionally’ beautiful. And I use that word loosely.
Susie, you make the word a brighter place! You keep on enjoying your steak etc. 🙂
Wait, what this Kim is truly bitching on the state of your weight? How frustrated & insecure about herself must she BE? & also how warped is her her view on weight? I think your thin! D:
*waves of sadness for Kim*
Also I need those glitter-y shorts in my life.
* you’re (can believe I made that mistake ;_;)
you’re really too good for him.
Kim Fung Toy is obviously crazy jealous, i saw the photo in which she refered to you as fat, and to me you look a similar size to other girls in photo’s. If she saw me she would proberly think i am morbidly obese. I wouldn’t worry about it there are so many haters on the web, its a good outlet for jealous insecure people who don’t have the balls to say things in the real life and so make caty comments that put others down and make themselves feel better
i love you susie.
woah, jealous much? I would take it as a compliment that someone is SO threatened by your sucess that they feel the need to tease. not only that, but the best criticism they can come up with sounds like something you’d hear on the playground, and is obviously not true.
those haters, they so crazy!
They are out of their minds! You look great Susie! Ignore those haters
You . are . FABULOUS .
fuck that kim fung toy bastard. Coward. He’s just fucking jealous. Jealous of your success and jealous of your amazing knight in shining armour Steve.
If it wasn’t for your iconoclastic style and fearlessness, fashion would be drab and boring…know that more people appreciate you than you could ever possibly imagine!
ps… bryanboy was at dolce too, I assume u two were the “two frontrow bloggers” at the dolce show style.com was talking about?….in a perfect world, I would be sitting between the two of you, not even paying attention to the show..just blogger-worshipping…
ha!~ Love you Susie!
Ignore, ignore, ignore…all these sort of people want is attention. No need to even acknowledge them.
Funny, the hubbyo and I were commenting this weekend on how you have evolved recently from the cutest of the cute to a woman of innovative vision.
creamy potato dauphinoise…here lies the real jealousy 🙂
Well, I’m straight and attended a fair few LFW shows last week…only one model appealed to me & I’d consider myself to have good taste in the ladies. Nobody wants to be like these models, as quite frankly no guy wants to fuck skin and bones…end of.
Can you share recipes for those, if you have them? Haha. They sound super yummy. And you are not chubby, Susie. Don’t listen to those people.
-meream
Ms Bubble, you are the best.
I’m a born lurker rather than commenter, but I’m having sharp pangs of sympathy here, being a thin person whose baby fat lives exclusively in her face. People are cruel and it sucks.
Your awesome attitude makes me want to stop and give you a comment high-five. High five! And also go find some potato dauphinoise.
P.S. I buy and wear clothes I like, now, against all sorts of feared attention and judgement, thanks to reading your blog this past year and more. Hats off, lady.
Bravo Susie!
Um. If for a single nano second you believe yourself to be anything but very very slim Susie…then I guess I must be a big fat hippo! I think those bodysuit photos you’ve just posted prove my point. You give me serious jealous pangs of thigh envy! :/
How on earth could anyone think you are fat? They must have a very warped idea of beauty.
On the otherhand my boyfriend happened to come over while I was reading your post and was terrified by the models in the photo and how thin they looked.
I doubt you are… but just in case, please don’t worry!
yessssssss. GO SUSIE BUBBLE!
You have such a lovely Asian looking face..we Chinese love it. Do not worry about people whose comments really do not deserve an intelligent answer. Nobody stops him or her from liking more ‘western’ looking faces.
From family members to optometrists (I just went over the weekend), I’m always told that my face is round and flat (which it is, even for an Asian) and being in this image conscious world of stick skinny models doesn’t help. But you know what, I am who I am, and I’m proud of it – if I had your fashion sense I’d be even prouder. Style isn’t about being the “perfect” size (whatever “perfect” means…). Rock on and keep eating all the crackling you bloody well want!
Susie, you’re not chubby or fat, not from the face or anywhere else. I think you have very beautiful features and your personal style compliments them perfectly. Best of all, your charisma and personality comes through from the pictures and that’s one of the main reasons why I enjoy following your blog.
Just for the record, I think that even someone would be a bit chubby or fat even, it doesn’t matter. I’m far from the leggy model type, I have long back and short legs but so what? I have my own look, my own style and if I was something else it wouldn’t be me anymore. And I don’t want to be anyone else than myself, with all my flaws and imperfections. That’s the person who people close to me love. And at the end of the day, that’s all that counts.
Hey, thanks for all the fellow suppoer from the …err… round/flat faced peeps out there and everyone else… it’s not a matter of whether I am fat or not…. because like some ppl pointed out, that isn’t the point but I just find it completely hilarious that someone who I don’t know (or maybe I do…??) can go back to a thread and comment on it SEVERAL times and be so bloody manic about it…. whilst hilarious, I can’t say it doesn’t sting just a little… skin.must.be.thicker…. I keep saying…. and it’s not effing growing!
Oh well…
Will withstand it better next time…
I just get so angry when I read comments like that. It’s just bullying, and I must admit, I do feel that Connie should have censored them, as people like that don’t deserve a platform for their bullying.
Susie, you are in no way fat and are in fact incredibly beautiful. But to be honest, none of that matters anyway! I have so much admiration for you, not because you are beautiful, but because you are intelligent and interesting. You have amazing style, and have been a huge inspiration for me when I get dressed for past few years.
Please don’t let stupid hateful people affect the way you feel about yourself. You are such an inspiration to us all, and that is something to be proud of.
Susie I always thought you were tiny, you look really skinny in your pictures. I also think you’re gorgeous, but none of that matters because you’ve got TALENT and talent outweighs looks in every case so don’t listen to that stupid douchebag, don’t see them commanding a succesful fashion blog xxx
I am so sorry to hear people talking about you that way Susie! F them. I am so tired of seeing anorexic models who don’t even look like women anymore. Beauty is about so much more!
Health and happiness trump all!
I don’t even want to comment about this further because anyone who thinks the world revolves around looking like super models needs their head examined.
I totally understand why you were upset, one remark from some-one can be brushed off, but when some-one makes multiple comments it feels like it is done with more venom … i had an ‘anon’ comment nearly everyday for over a month saying things like ” stop trying so hard monkey face” or “chimp” and it wore me down , i didn’t tell anyone but it really knocked my confidence.
At the end of the day you’re a beautiful smart young woman with an inimitable style and this Kim Shithead is just insanely jealous of you
You’re the best! Everyone knows you’re super gorgeous, and your attitude about these things is just perfect. These clowns need to find something else to spend their time obsessing over…
ps- yourock. theend.
Susie,
You must never let idiots like this get to you. You know he’s trying SO hard to hurt you… are those racial slurs he’s slinging? Frying pan? Is this a common insult or just the product of his feverish, bubbling-over (sorry Susie) little brain?
You stand out in groups of fashion girls ONLY because you have best fashion brain of anyone. Other bloggers may be adept at of-the-moment chicery (especially the ‘big expensive shoes/little dress/grey-black layers’ thing) but you actually MOVE FASHION FORWARD with the ideas you conceive and demonstrate! You’re an artist with your own canvas…Vive la Bubble!
You’re gorgeous, and of course you’re SUPER TINY actually! Your face is lovely!!! Very pretty, just like all the rest of you.
maybe whoever wrote that is jealous … sticks and stones is what I say. Rise above and just keep on being fabulous. Your perfect the way you are and the knickers will look smashing! Love them! Theses are my favorite pics so far to come out of fashion week.
You´re talented and tiny!
you have a gorgeous face and I would say your are healthily thin… waaaay far away from being fat! Ignore weirdo internet losers and rock on 🙂
Don’t know if you’ll even still be reading comments on this ( I catch up your blog once every fortnight normally) but fuck that guy. Seriously. You are gorgeous.
Let’s hear it for pork crackling’s (pork rinds or, as myself and my family know them: chicharrones!) and marbled steak!!!! Without Sunday dinners London wouldn’t be the same. I’ll never give up on beautiful clothes, shoes, and food! I’m 5’1″ tall, muscular, and I feel short and fat and not tall and thin enough and then I remember I don’t give a toss and wear everything (or nothing, HA!) I want to wear anyway. F— that absolute coward! I think you’re absolutely LOVELY!!!!THANKS!!!!

Hey hun, I’ve never ever heard of this kim fung toy or whoever she is but I have heard of you and your really picking up in the fashion media spotlight, don’t pass this on to her because she probably intends for you to get upset and blog about her for her free publicity, I see when you press on that refinery29 it send people to her page, take that link off don’t send people to her page!!! She’s trying to steal your spotlight!! Your beautiful in that photo you look extra skinny which is the funny thing about her pathetic comments!! STYLE BUBBLE ROCKS!!!
